Midnight's Children is a 2012 film adaptation of Salman Rushdie's 1981 novel of the same name. The film begins with the narrator, Saleem Sinai, describing his much anticipated birth at the moment of Indian independence. The narrative jumps back to 1917 Kashmir. Saleem's grandfather, Dr. Aadam Aziz went to the Ghani mansion to have a look at the landlord's sick daughter, Nasim, without realising that she was going to be his future wife. The narrative jumps to Agra of 1942. Saleem tells his grandfather had contracted an optimism disease of those times and had become an ardent supporter of Mian Abdullah. But Abdullah while returning from a party with his secretary Nadir, gets assassinated by a group of his enemies. Nadir flees away to Dr. Aziz's house where Aziz shelters him in his cellar despite opposition from his wife Nasim. Saleem introduces Aadam's 3 daughters, Alia, Mumtaz and Emerald. During Nadir's stay, Mumtaz developed a bond with him which resulted in their marriage. Soon the marriage was broken when general Zulfikar and his team learned of his presence in the cellar. Devastated by the unexpected divorce, Mumtaz finds solace in the arms of the wealthy entrepreneur Ahmed Sinai.<br/>The two married and moved from Calcutta to Bombay, where they bought a villa from a wealthy Englishman Methwold. Mumtaz takes up a new name, Amina Sinai. In the villa an accordionist, Wee Willie Winkie and his wife, used to come to sing and entertain and a matter of the fact was this that the wife was carrying Methwold's child with her. Amina too was carrying a child then. Both went into labour on 14 August, and gave birth at the moment India got independence. However, a nurse, Mary, driven by love for her revolutionary partner, decided to swap the name tags of the rich and the poor kids, thus altering their fates. Mary realizes the extent of her mistake and requests to make amends by deciding to become Saleem's ayah. |
